East Mebon
East Mebon submitted by deka : East Mebon 2018 (Vote or comment on this photo)
The East Mebon is a 10th Century temple at Angkor, Cambodia. Built during the reign of King Rajendravarman, it stands on what was an artificial island at the centre of the now dry East Baray reservoir. The site was dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva and honours the parents of the king. Its location reflects Khmer architects’ concern with orientation and cardinal directions.

The temple was built on a north-south axis with Rajendravarman’s state temple, Pre Rup, located about 1,200 meters to the south just outside the baray. The East Mebon also lies on an east-west axis with the palace temple Phimeanakas, another creation of Rajendravarman’s reign, located about 6,800 meters due west.
